Just want to point out that Allegro  ( http://www.talula.demon.co.uk/allegro/ ) has a nice multilingual keyboard key handling, with a few already made config file for many languages.

src/win/wkeybd.c uses the functions I mentioned in this post.  Well, they are using MapVirtualKey and I mentioned MapVirtualKeyEx.

I've yet to try this process to see how it handles the combo of pressing ALT-GR and ^ together (right ALT key and the key to the right of the P), followed by the E key, to generate ?.  This combo requires storing a dead key and then applying it to the next keypress.

Thanks for the link.. I have looked towards allegro in the past.. I also really like the license they used for there code, but have not needed anything from it as of yet. When I get to the 0.5.0 release multilanguage stuff will be hammered out.. Whether through the use of WinProc (I am still a little hesitant) or language mapping files or config files.. Still undecided.

Though, I really need to buckle down and finish this release soon.. Holidays have slowed me down (and school too)  :cry:
